Hi Geoff & Nadia, and hello to Craig. I will be there and hope to bring my nephew Callum, who will be 11 by then. I was in Jordan ages ago and Wadi Rum was absolutely my favourite place. Although I think the Nabateans did quite a good job in Petra, too! On Callum’s list of things to see is the pyramids of Egypt; his fond aunt will take him, but first to the lovely people and amazing sights of Jordan with, of course, a bit of Permaculture education in between. Geoff: I recall my “promise” of what I would do after my PDC. My little townhouse garden now has regular visitors, although no other townies have taken up the challenge to have a Permaculture garden; I lead the local Hornsby Shire LGA Pc group and have started street parties to get to know my neighbours. Still working on the community garden for my suburb but design is underway to Pc the grounds of a local shopping village. I have even taught a couple of Pc classes for council: it’s great that Pc is now a regular in their workshop series. And I was able to give some Pc input into council’s revamping of an ecogarden. Best regards and best of luck with IPC 10!

Thanks Craig, Geoff, and Nadia! Looking forward to seeing you in Jordan 2011 – I’ll work to get folks in the northeast USA raising funds to support delegates from majority-world countries.

That will be an opportunity for us all to experience the legendary hospitality encountered in arab culture.
No doubt the IPC 10 will have a strong seed component because, Jordan is very much a place where simple farmers have adapted their crops to salinity, drought tolerance, cold, etc. Just take sorghum, barley etc that bear good crops in places with less then 140 mm (that’s less than 5 inches) of rain a year. And that’s peasant farmers doing that, don’t they! That will be an amazing privilege to meet them and learn from them. Translators will be working overtime no doubt.
